A former Jonesville Community Schools employee has been accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl in Oakland County last year, a school official said today.

Phillip Mosher, 63, of Jonesville faces six counts of criminal sexual conduct with a person under 13, three in the first degree and three in the second degree, according to state police. He was arraigned Friday at the District Court in Rochester.

Mosher resigned Wednesday as a cook from Jonesville High School, Superintendent Michael Potts said. School officials did not know at that time that Mosher was accused of any crime.

The district is sending home letters with students to inform parents of the charges, Potts said. To his knowledge, the alleged victim is not a Jonesville student, he said.

"No one is more shocked than we are," Potts said. "We will do whatever we can to cooperate and help the students who attend our schools."
